A '''single-valued function''' is an emphatic term for a [[mathematical function]] in the usual sense. That is, each element of the [[function domain|function's domain]] maps to a single, well-defined element of its range. This contrasts with a general [[binary relation]], which can be viewed as being a [[multi-valued function]].
 
== Example ==
 
In [[complex analysis]], each complex number other than 0 has three distinct cube roots. Therefore, the function ''f''(''z'') = ''z''<sup>1/3</sup> can be naturally treated as a multi-valued function in which each number other than zero maps to three distinct values. The theory of [[Riemann surfaces]] gives a way to study the behavior of this function and other multi-valued functions on the complex numbers.  
 
== Injective functions ==
 
A function is [[injective function|injective]] (also called "one-to-one") if each element of the range arises from a single element of the domain. In contrast, a function is single-valued if each element of the domain maps to a single element of the domain.
